The Laughing Bear Lodge Writing Collaboration **Refresh your memory on the beginning by visiting The Collaboration page. Okay, so when we last left this project, we were contributing one sentence at a time using the comments feature. Here’s what we’ve got so far on Chapter 9 and I’ve added another sentence. Chapter 9 Trey heard…

“Writing is not like painting where you add. It is not what you put on the canvas that the reader sees. Writing is more like a sculpture where you remove, you eliminate in order to make the work visible. Even those pages you remove somehow remain.” ~ Elie Wiesel ~ This is the thought for…

Last Saturday Kellie and I were driving by French Fort Cove on our way to work, and we noticed tents set up and a lot of activity going on. We had stumbled onto a group of Venturers from across New Brunswick competing in a provincial challenge. I’m a little slack on details since Kellie had…

The French Fort Cove is so beautiful this time of year…I just have to post some pics from my last walk… An unusual site at the cove this year is the “Mitten Tree”. It holds all of the items lost this winter by people out playing in the snow.

I was just thinking about how fast the weather changes and thought I’d post these 2 pictures…one taken in April, the other in May.

Wally Gator practiced his swing today at lunch time. At least some of us were working!

Long weekend, here we come! Nothing better than a long weekend to get your spirits up and motivated. My family’s annual “LobsterFest” coinsides with the Victoria Day weekend.

“Rescue our Hospital, Resuscitate our Future” Well we survived the Great Hospital Protest of 2004, and man was it ever a protest! In case you have been in hibernation for the past few weeks, an estimated 1,200 people from the Miramichi Region put their diversity aside and shouted loud and clear (literally) at the New…

What a beautiful day in Miramichi! I’m sitting here at the Miratech building with the door wide open listening to birds singing in the summer. The sun is shining, there’s a lovely cool breeze, I’m wearing my Mighty Miramichi.com sweatshirt and have fresh fiddleheads in my lunch bag. What more could you ask for?

We’ve got a petition online in support of no cuts to our local hospital service. Check it out and please sign. Click here.

Getting back to the Laughing Bear Lodge . . . you know, the novel we’ve been working on together . . . Andrea suggested it might go more quickly (and could even be more interesting) if we wrote it by sentences rather than chapters. And I think that’s a plan, certainly worth trying. Could be…

A couple of weekends ago while I was at the Writers’ Federation of New Brunswick Annual General Meeting, the rest of the Mighty Crew were in Moncton for the Lifestyle Show at the coliseum. Here are a few pictures Stacy sent me to post. People filled out ballots at the Mighty Community booth to win…
